Tottenham midfielder praised for Nou Camp display.
After inspiring Tottenham to a win against Inter Milan last month, Moussa Sissoko proved he truly belonged at the club.
If any doubters remained, his performance away to Barcelona should have swayed them.
With Spurs a goal down, Sissoko dug in and helped the North London side come back and earn a point.
Sissoko created three chances, more than any Barcelona player.
He completed 88 per cent of his passes, and won two tackles.
The Frenchman’s efforts were recognised by former Tottenham captain Graham Roberts, who sent him a gushing message on Twitter.
Roberts sent another message hailing Sissoko, and also picking out Danny Rose for praise.
The £30 million fee Tottenham paid for Sissoko in 2016 put him under pressure from day one.
At this present moment it suddenly does not look overpriced.
Now into the knockout rounds, Sissoko will get a further chance to bolster his reputation.
